*This is the only edition authorized by the author.* Roses are red. Violets are wilted. Why do you walk so stiff and so stilted? Something is very strange about the new girl in Joey Ocean's class. Her name is Xia Dedd. She never speaks, and her hair blows in the breeze-even inside. There is one thing Xia can do: "mind talk" with Joey. He learns that Dr. Samedi is experimenting on humans and Xia is one of his unfortunate subjects. Together they must find a way to stop the evil doctor before it's too late for Xia. And possibly, humankind! Check out the website! http: //www.holiday-monsters.com
